Flashed VanirAOSP 802 build. I was bit worried because it seemed to take longer to flash. Guess I flashed the wrong kernel since I have no data. WiFi works. I also can't figure out how to rearrange the nav buttons. I like the back button on the far right instead of left.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sacrosaint:
Vanir should have nav bar settings... But data is probably APN settings. Are you on TMO? See the documentation on TMO's site: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

Set up your APNs, report back. None functioning data would be pretty bad.

EDIT: also kernel should not really affect data. If your signal is working but without data, it is almost always missing APN settings :) and sorry about the formatting on this reply... This is from my Nexus 7
[T-Mobile LG G2] bodom_hc:
I flashed vanir and no data, set correct APN, Change network type by dialing *#*#4636*#*# to LTE/GSM not LTE GSM WCDMA

i had to change networks like 3 or 4 times til data kicked in :D

Working solid now

I flashed the official PAC man rom and flashed wootevers custom kernel and it never booted

stuck on animation screen, can anyone confirm OFFICIAL PAC working with WOOTEVERS CUSTOM KERNEL ?
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
I got data working but keeps bouncing around 3G and H+. What kernel should I be using. Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ska8tdude:
I'm getting the same problem on the CM 10.2 ROM. I can't get it to connect to 4G or LTE. I've changed my APN and set the connection type to LTE and still nothing. It was doing the same thing on Vanir as well, any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
I changed the APN to fast.T-Mobile.com but didn't help. Have no idea. Sorry.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
Forgot this.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bodom_hc:
No lte here :/

Radio Bands

Can someone explain / confirm is flashing to international version will unlock or change the radio bands?

according toWikipedia the:

T-Mobile - D801

GSM 850/900/1800/1900

UMTS 850/1700/1900/2100

LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/700(17)

Global version - D802

GSM 850/900/1800/1900

UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600

in my country mostly used band's is 900 Mhz so I'm very interested in to unlock it or change whole to global version.
[T-Mobile LG G2] fishman0919:
Flashing a rom will not change your radio nor would it be recommended that you do so.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Deusdies:
Is this still valid for KitKat? I.e. can I flash the D802 4.4 ROM on my D801 and use the same instructions as in OP?
[T-Mobile LG G2] nimrodsv:
1. NO! +you dont have any kernel to install on top of it.

2. There is no difference between the D802 and D801 KItkat roms so why flashing the D802 one?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Deusdies:
1. I assumed as much.

2. Really? What about all the T-Mobile crap that they put on, and also removal of Tap & Pay (Google Wallet not working) and forcing us to use Isis Wallet, which doesn't even work for me?
[T-Mobile LG G2] nimrodsv:
crap can be disabled or deleted with titanium.

Wallet fix can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665391
[T-Mobile LG G2] Deusdies:
Yep, all that is true if I get root. I know there are D801 ROM versions with root, but I already have KitKat, which would mean I'd have to go back to 4.2.2 (and wipe all my data), then flash the new ROM + flash root + flash wallet fix, then restore all my data. It's doable, but somewhat of a process, was kind of looking for a way around it :P
[T-Mobile LG G2] nimrodsv:
Unfortunately No way around it for now

you can wait for a new recovery if you want..

btw installing the D802 version will need this whole process too :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] Deusdies:
Ha, after I wrote my last post, I thought "I'm an idiot, flashing D802 or D801 kitkat wouldn't make any difference in terms of time required" :D

Well, sounds like tomorrow will be a fun day! Thanks, btw :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] PsychoKilla666:
I did that in order to get the 4k camera mod to work, wouldn't run on T-Mo stock.

This is probably dated but there are kernels now. I wonder why this thread has gotten so inactive since it works and there is a lack of T-Mo roms

TWRP 2.3.4 custom seems to be doing fine, flashed multiple KK from KK

Isn't that what the phone supports? Like I have tmo with not 850 lte, I have it unlocked on att, I can't just flash a att radio and magically have 850 lte. Tmo variant doesn't support it hardware wise right?
[T-Mobile LG G2] sandys1:
I'm getting a new Tmo d801 - I need to enable 2300 LTE band (which is enabled out of the box in the australian D802TA). Does anybody know if I can flash the radio on the D801 and it will work ?
[T-Mobile LG G2] fishman0919:
No, you can't... The hardware on the Tmobile does not support it.

Flashing firmware for your modem is just that... firmware. The hardware has to support the band.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Murshad007:
I purchased a D802 32GB, Its touch is giving a littel proble.

So I stock Flash it with Europe open 32GB..

After that Its Touch becomes unresponsive, Baseband Unknown and IMEI Null..

MY IMEI is of Thailand

I opened my phone and i Doubted thats its a refurbished Set..

I want to know that How can I sure which Model it is? Where to look at Phone Motherboard?

2 My previous Softwar is D802, How can I flash D801 KDZ or tot on this?
[T-Mobile LG G2] oktheoriginal:
How to do you install a rom through recovery? What i am saying is what is the format of the rom? KDZ? Tot? or img? If img then where do you download this img file? And is there any procedure for installing imgs?
[T-Mobile LG G2] t3chn0s1s:
First off.. Google your exact question. Second - this is NOT the place to pose a broad question such as yours. If you need help, that's what the Q&A as well as the General sections are good for. You can pretty much find the answer to ALL of your questions there or with a Google search.

The reason I say this is because if you understood anything about the G2 or other LG devices - you'd know that KDZ and TOT files are stock firmware files flashable only through the LG Flash Tool/LG Mobile Support Tool. Img files are NOT ROM files. They are specific (in the context of android) to recovery image files. The only file types (ROM or otherwise) you should be flashing through a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM are ZIP files. Get it?

Can anyone give a quick suggestion to a kernel that will work well with lollipop ROMs. Currently using resurrection remix and the developer may have stopped development on the d801. I would like to update if there is a reasonably stable kernel.

With the vanir posted in this forum (d801 version) I just flashed the rom then gapps and it worked great. Only had to change the apn to fast.t-mobile.com for lte connectivity. Basically worked out of the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
I remember other people having issues with Vanir 801 build when it first came out.

Just flashed cm10 11/12 802 build On my T-Mobile G2 with Houstonn's kernel. I have LTE and all is good.
[T-Mobile LG G2] cyan pac:
do you have camera and does the browser fc? also can you edit a picture and try to sharpen it? on paranoid android it fc's when i try to sharpen a picture, and has anyone tried heatshiver 4.3/4.4? i think im going try vanir and heatshivers rom
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
The camera worked. I think Dolphin might have crashed some. I didn't really use it that much. I couldn't get the nav bar to shrink and didn't really feel like messing with it so I'm back on the Buckeye stock Rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
Wait a minute.

Are you guys saying that you can flash this D802 ROM on the T-Mobile variant, and THEN, on top of that, flash a custom rom that is meant for D802 G2 variants?

So you're basically running a custom rom on top of a ported rom?

And it's not killing your phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2] x714x:
:eek:

There is no porting involved, the D802 and D801 are identical with the exception of radio bands supported. The partitions that info is flashed to is identical, hence not going to hurt your phone. They then flash carrier specific boot.img's so the phone will actually be usable.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
Wow. So if I flash this D802 rom first, I will then be able to flash any of the tons of roms that are meant for the 802?

Excellent!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2] x714x:
You dont need to flash a stock D802 rom first, you can just flash the D802 rom your choice straight from your stock rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
I see. So the only thing you need to flash after the D802 custom rom is an 801 kernel.

Freaking amazing!
[T-Mobile LG G2] BIGWORM:
So using D802 ROMs applies to both AOSP-based and LG-based ROMs? I may be looking to give RayGlobe ROM a try from the Int'l forums...
[T-Mobile LG G2] bodom_hc:
No word on PAC ROM working?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
So are there still problems with people losing data using this method?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sacrosaint:
Yes, it does. Make sure that you download an appropriate kernel, though. For AOSP-based ROMs, use a proper AOSP-ready kernel. They are linked in the OP. For LG-based ROMs, either download a kernel or simply backup your boot partition and restore it after installing the D802 ROM.

It has not been confirmed. One user reported issues with it. I don't have time to test it tonight... if no one else reports back, I'll get back to you on the weekend. That... or you could do a full NANDroid backup (at least boot, data, system) and test it out. Worst case is that if it doesn't work, you just restore your backup.

Not really. 3 scenarios:

Seems like CyanogenMOD is good out of the box.

Other ROMs work, but may lack APN settings. Takes about 5 minutes to enter those.

Finally, Vanir had some issues on a D802 build, connecting to LTE, but the new D801 build seems to work fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2] BIGWORM:

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I would think so as long as you flash a D801 kernel after the ROM

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

PS I am now 48 hours in and I have noticed two small issues with CM nightly 11/11

1) Wi-Fi seems to have some intermittence. A reboot fixes this and it's working probably 90% of the time.

2) The camera and gallery have been FC occasionally while taking video.

I am flashing to 11/14 tonight to see if any of this has been resolved.
[T-Mobile LG G2] BIGWORM:
Grabbing RayGlobe right now. I'm assuming I'm gonna have to manually enter the APN settings...
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
Anyone flashed the OmniRom Beta-Build 2? If so is easy to do? What kernel did you use and is it running ok. I understand it will have some bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2] HelloDominick:
Will try tonight with the PAC ROM
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sacrosaint:
Heyyo. Yup, I just downloaded the build , batch-installed it with the recommended Gapps, followed by the D801 kernel built by houstonn, and finally the SuperSU recovery installer.

The first boot took less than a minute. I did wipe system, as well as factory reset beforehand. Wifi connected well, bluetooth works. I'm not on TMobile so I can't comment on LTE. It's smooth and split view works. Otherwise, at the moment there aren't very many features. No customizable quick toggles, no navbar/lockscreen settings, not much at all. You basically get:

-Battery style

-Status bar brightness control

-Notification count

-Translucent status bar on lockscreen (no navbar)

-Network speed indicator

-Turn off volume changing sound

-Of course SPLIT VIEW :D

That's pretty much it? Yeah. Obviously a young ROM. Glad to see that it's so stable only 2 weeks in.

UPDATE 1:

Well, I don't like the ROM in its current state. It's certainly not a daily driver when you're used to having a gazillion features. I'll be flashing the D802 Vanir and taking the OTA in just a moment.

UPDATE 2:

Man, I forgot how long it takes to install a ROM on this phone. Anyways, I should note that OmniROM installed in less than 2 minutes, including all those other .zips I mentioned. It was no time at all. Vanir... Vanir has been going for at least 4 now.

UPDATE 3:

Finally finished. The build for the D802 works great, camera and all.... but then I downloaded the OTA from November 13th. In the OTA, Camera and torch were broken. Reverting to my PowerUser Edition 1.2 ROM. I don't feel like the upgrade to AOSP it quite worth it yet. I really want some KitKat.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sweets55:
Think I'll hold off for a bit. I like the Buckeye Rom since I'm a big Buckeye fan. Go Bucks! hehe
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sacrosaint:
So I'm back on AOSP. I left because the camera had not been ported, but now it has! Also, the November 15th Vanir nightly fixed the camera problem I had last night. Here's what I installed:

Vanir AOSP D802

PA Gapps (I chose the mini modular package)

Houstonn D801 AOSP Kernel

>Install takes quite a while. Vanir likes to take around 5 minutes to install.

>After booting, I downloaded the latest Nightly in Vanir by going into Settings > About Phone > Software Updates

>The update downloaded. I rebooted into recovery, installed the OTA and re-installed the kernel.

>Reboot to make sure everything is working.

I also installed these awesome add-ons:

LG Camera, ported to AOSP

LG QuickRemote ported to AOSP. I used a version in the comments meant for Slimbean, Vanir, and other non-CM ROMs that don't have userinit.d support.

Everything's working out pretty great. I'm enjoying the ROM a lot more than any LG Stock ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2] robo4130:
great write up ....i have been doing this for a month on my t mobile and every ROM works with one exception of PAC Man rom ...every other one works with houstons kernel !
[T-Mobile LG G2] HelloDominick:
So the PAC man ROM still don't work with Houston ROM as well
[T-Mobile LG G2] brickwall99:
Finally! As soon as PACMAN ROM is working I'll probably give this a go. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] bodom_hc:
You have working LTE?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sacrosaint:
Unfortunately I can't comment on the state of my LTE. I'm running the TMO D801 on WIND Canada. I have working AWS UMTS with HSPA+, which is equivalent to TMO's HSPA+ network in terms of bands and such.

If you look back in the thread, people have had mixed experiences. As far as I'm concerned, there should be no reason for LTE to be broken when switching to an AOSP D802 ROM once APN settings are correct. If you try it, let us know!

EDIT: Thanks to phuongt and samomamo, I can confirm that LTE works. If it doesn't on boot, then entering the T-Mobile APNs fixes it. Check the OP for instructions on how to do this.
[T-Mobile LG G2] phuongt:
I've got LTE working in the latest vanir after changing the APN to fast.t-mobile.com
[T-Mobile LG G2] samomamo:
I installed the latest CM from D802 with gapps and then the D801 kernel everything is so smooth. Lte works , didn't have to change any APN. So far everything is working perfect camera, battery, calls ...

[T-Mobile LG G2] lrwjr1964:
Heatshiver 4.3

I tried heatshiver 4.3 and after if got past the first LG logo the LG logo showed up again but underneath it says security error. Could it be because I used a custom kernel for the D801 instead of the original kernel. What version did you try if I may ask and what kernel did you use?

Nor does "HeatshiverLX ROM Deodexed v3.4" with the stock D-801 kernel. Boot Loop

I did get" Rayglobe 2.6" to work... first install "Rayglobe 2.5.1" then install "Rayglobe OTA 2.6"... with the stock D-801 kernel. Works flawless

I also got "cm-10.2-20131115-NIGHTLY-d802.zip" work with the D-801 aosp kernel but the camera and gallery were very buggy.

Hope this help someone.

I'm really getting the itch to start dev'ing again. I got so much stuff I want to release and a lot more I'm wanting to play with, but finding time with a baby and a 50hr a week on-call job it's so hard. I'm going to work on something soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2] LaCroyx:
Hi, just got my G2 (the T-Mobile version, although from where I am tmo is not present). SInce i don't need anything related to tmo i can flash any custom rom for the d-802 model. I've read the how to, but still have a question: why is it needed to flash a d-801 kernel? Since i have a different provider and i've got nothing related to tmo here, do i have to flash a d-801 kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
Where can I get the stock kernel? All I see on the OP are custom ones.

Edit:

I understand that in the OP it tells me to boot into recovery and I will find it there, but I'm already running a custom kernel so I don't have it.

Can anyone post a link to the stock kernel for T-Mobile variant?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Steve5400:
The kernel is what links the software to work with the hardware. You might be able to get some d800 ROMs type work, but the hardware is different so it will be buggy.

To my knowledge, the kernel has very little if anything to do with the carrier. You would need to change the APN settings to work with your carrier.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Try flashing the stock ROM and then extract it. Then restore and then flash your extracted kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
How do I extract it?

(Sorry, I flash ROMS like crazy, but don't have any experience with extracting, decompiling, etc.)

EDIT:

Can I just download the stock rom, unzip it, and pull the kernel from there? I just wouldn't know how to make it flashable in recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2] LaCroyx:
That's just it I thought that there were no hardware differences between the various g2 variants. I read somewhere that only one vaiant (sprint or verizon?) had some changes the rest are the same except for the software. This is somewhat of a bad news for me since I'm into customs roms, but I will follow your guide and try and flash a custom d-802 rom on my d-801 ::fingers-crossed:

"Several different model variants of the G2 are sold, with most variants differing only in support for regional network types and bands. However, the South Korean version features a removable (but smaller) battery and a MicroSD slot, while the U.S. Verizon Wireless version includes Qi wireless charging, but has a noticeably different rear cover design with no patterning, a different design for the buttons and camera area, and replaces the solid black option for the button background with a pink pattern option"

So considering this, I can't understand why I cannot simply flash an international custom rom on the D-801. It isn't much of problem to flash a different kernel, but development for international D-802 is better than the other variants.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Han Solo 1:
Will this work with the Houstonn aosp kernel?

Edit:

It doesn't. Stuck at the LG Logo screen for 10 minutes. Had to restore backup.

Oh well.
